The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the Regulator of Social Housing are implementing new enforcement powers and regulatory oversight for social housing providers, including supported housing. Recent legislation—the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 and Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023—has expanded the regulator's ability to intervene in poorly performing providers and set tenure standards. The government has consulted on and is now implementing these enhanced regulatory frameworks.
This Direction requires the regulator to set a rent standard for registered providers of social housing.
